==History== In some sources relating the Arab conquest of Syria, it is mentioned that the last army the Byzantine Empire set up in the region took up position near Jalin before the crucial Battle of the Yarmuk in 635. The battle took place west of Jalin and led to the catastrophic defeat of the Byzantine army.
